"In the context of the Gersycoop site in Fleurance, the urge is to increase the ground permeability. At the heart of our project, we designed “The Green Smile” as a forested area of more than 2200 sqm, transforming the street into a lush green urban facade. By vastly planting indigenous vegetation, we aim to create an inviting habitat for local humans and non-humans and establish a vibrant natural setting."
